Medio P213 reader requires minimal computing power from the host workstation (Windows®based PC or UNIX environment). It communicates easily with this host at a high speed, using the simple TAGSYS enhanced communication protocol (STX-E). Figure 1: Medio P213 TAGSYS RFID Tag Reader Application Overview The Medio P213 TAGSYS RFID Tag readers are easy to integrate because of its: • • small size standard communication links October 2010 Revision 1.0 7/34 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide 1.3 Key Features Table 1: Medio P213 Key Features Description Medio P213 Operating Frequency 13.56 MHz Compatibility C210, C240, C270, C370, C370-L/S, ISO15693 chips Stand-alone Mode C210, C240, C270, C370, C370-L/S, ISO 15693 chips Selectable Serial Link RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 (Half or Full duplex) Network Operating Yes I/Os 1 input and 1 output Firmware upgradeable Yes 1.4 Delivery The Medio P213 TAGSYS RFID Tag Reader kit contains the following items: Table 2: Package Contents Quantity Item 1 Medio P213 TAGSYS RFID Tag Reader 1 SMA/BNC Adaptor 4 Configuration jumpers 1 CD-ROM including: 1 8/34 • Medio P213 Integrator's Guide • Medio P200u/s, P213, P232/3 Command Set • User-friendly Px Explorer software provided for test and debug operations on Windows XP, 200x, Vista and Seven platforms • Tagsys Legacy Software Development Kit including o DLLs and ActiveX o Library Software Development Kit Documentation o One set of source code and executable samples • Tagsys Universal Software Development Kit including o Native DLL o .NET Component o One set of source code and executable samples Welcome Letter / Product Return Form Revision 1.0 October 2010 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide 2 Functional Overview This section provides an overview of the architectural structure and peripheral devices of the Medio P213 TAGSYS RFID Tag Reader. It also provides a summary of the special functions used to drive the reader board and describes the automatic features managed by the Central Processing Unit (CPU). 2.1 Functional Block Diagram The Medio P213 architectural structure is based on a CPU that drives all reader functions. It manages communications between the host system (connected to the “Reader-to-Host interface”) and one or more TAGSYS RFID Tags using an antenna (connected to the “Tag-toReader interface”). It also drives 1 Universal Input and 1 Universal Outputs. Figure 2 illustrates the general architecture of Medio P213 TAGSYS RFID Tag Reader.

For a complete list of embedded commands and their description, please refer to the Medio P213 Command Set document. 2.2.2 Reader-to-Host Interface When the Medio P213 reader is connected to an antenna, it acts more as a protocol converter due to the wide range of tasks it can perform. For more information about these tasks, refer to the Medio P213 Command Set document. Depending on the task requested by the user through the host interface, the reader retrieves information from the TAGSYS RFID Tag or provides it with information using its own communication protocol. The reader then converts the result of the operation into STX-E protocol and returns the information to the host via the Reader-to-Host interface. For more information, refer to the Medio P213 Command Set document. The Reader-to-Host interface has two operating modes: 1. Normal Mode The Reader-to-Host interface is the slave of the master host system. It waits for a valid command from the host, performs the task and responds. This bi-directional communication is achieved via the STX-E protocol. (For more information, please refer to the Medio P213 Command Set document.) 2. Stand-alone Mode The Reader-to-Host interface is independent from the host system. Stand-alone mode is used by the Medio P213 reader to read tags and send their identification data to the host system. This transmission takes place in ASCII format. While in this mode, the reader cannot receive any commands. For more information, please refer to Section 7, “Stand-alone Mode”. 2.3 Peripheral Devices The I/O interface manages 1 input and 1 output that can drive or check external peripherals. The input is compliant with open collector drivers, TTL/CMOS voltage levels and industrial levels (up to 25V). The output consists of a gate controlled MOSFET transistor driver that can drive up to 1.5A. It is safe from current and thermal overloads. +5V current limited option is available to give TTL/CMOS compliant levels. The I/O pins are mainly used for static applications such as reading sensors or driving LEDs, relays or buzzers. For more information, refer to Section 6.1 “Using the Universal Input pin” and Section 6.2 “Using the Universal Output pin”. 10/34 Revision 1.0 October 2010 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide 3 Installing the Reader This section explains how best to install the Medio P213 TAGSYS RFID Tag Reader board. The physical description of the reader board is given in Section 9, “Mechanical Characteristics”. 3.1 Pin Connections Connection System Communication connector J1A : Sub-D9 Male #2 : Data transmitted to the reader for RS232 Mode (TD signal for PC) RX+ signal for RS422 or RS485 mode #3 : Data sent by the reader for RS232 mode (RD signal for PC) TX+ signal for RS422 or RS485 mode #5 : Ground #6 : RX- signal for RS422 or RS485 mode #9 : TX- signal for RS422 or RS485 mode All other pins are not connected.

Please refer to Section 10, “Electrical Characteristics” for more details about reader consumption. The power pins accept an input voltage between 10 and 24 V DC. 3.3 Antenna The J5 connector is dedicated to an antenna that is required for reading TAGSYS RFID Tags. This can be a TAGSYS antenna or a custom-made model. The choice of the antenna must take into account the following considerations: • • • Physical area (size) of the TAGSYS RFID Tag Strength of the reader Compliance with electrical characteristics (see Electrical Characteristics chapter) The antenna has a passive design that features 50 ohm, 0° impedance characteristics at 13.56 MHz frequency. 12/34 Revision 1.0 October 2010 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide 4 Serial Communication Links Medio P213 TAGSYS RFID Tag Readers are based on a Master-Slave communication system where the host system acts as the master and the reader as the slave. In Stand-alone mode, the reader is used as a master and the host system becomes the slave. The Host-to-Reader interface accepts an RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 (Full or Half Duplex) communication links. The communication type is selected using the jumpers on the Serial communication selector : J4 J3 RS232 Mode RS422 Mode RS485 Mode 4.1 General Information on Data Acquisition Communication takes place by sending frames (bytes) on the communication link. The bytes are transmitted LSB first with one start bit and one stop bit as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3: Structure of a Byte on the Communication Link 1 Start Bit October 2010 LSB MSB 8 bits with LSB First Revision 1.0 0 Stop Bit 13/34 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide Communication parameters are listed in Table 3. These parameters cannot be modified. Table 3: Parameters for the Transmission of a Byte Parameter Value Allowed Baud Rate 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200 bps (depending on the reader settings) Default Baud Rate 38400 Start Bit On Number of data bits 8 Parity None Stop bit 1 The maximum period between the transmission of bytes is 10 ms, regardless of the applicable baud rate. 4.2 RS-232 Interface 4.2.1 Installing the reader in RS-232 mode To use the RS-232 interface, you can connect a NULL-MODEM RS232 cable to the suitable COM port of a PC. Please configure the Serial Communication Selector as shown in Chapter 5. 4.2.2 Setting the Host System RS-232 Communication Link The host system RS-232 communication link must be set as shown in Table 4.

The RS-485 permits a balanced transmission line to be shared in Party Line or Multi-drop mode. As many as 32 receiver (readers or repeaters) pairs can share a Multi-drop network. If more readers are needed in the network, balanced line repeaters can be used (a repeater takes the place of a reader on the network). 4.3.1 Installing the RS-422 Interface Figure 4 shows how to connect the RS-422 interface. The balanced line RX+ and RX- corresponds to the reader receiver and must be connected to the transmitter of the host. The balanced line TX+ and TX- corresponds to the reader transceiver and must be connected to the receiver of the host. A 120-Ohm resistor should be added at the end of a transmission line in compliance with RS-422 specifications. This resistor can be connected by connecting a jumper on the RS422 Terminaison selector. When set to communicate according to RS-422 specifications, the reader always holds its transceiver active and never switches it into Tri-state mode. The Host-to-Reader Interface should not be unplugged.

When testing your network installation, make sure that all the connected readers are : - correctly supplied - correctly configured (Communication link selector and Terminaison resistor) - correctly connected (cable connections) If one reader is faulty on the network, all the network may be mute to any command sent over the network. Make sure that all the readers are preset with a different network address to avoid network conflicts. By default, a Medio P213 is preset with address 0. 16/34 Revision 1.0 October 2010 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide Figure 5: Connection of the RS-485 Full Duplex Interface TX+ R TX- RX+ R RX- Host RS-485 Full Duplex Interface RX+ RX- TX+ TX- RX+ RX- TX+ TX- Host To Reader Interface Host To Reader Interface Reader 1 Reader n Figure 5 shows how to connect the RS-485 Full Duplex Interface in a Multi-drop network. The balanced line TX+ and TX- corresponds to the reader transceiver and must be connected to the receiver of the host (and other reader transceivers or repeater). A 120-Ohm resistor should be added at the end of the two transmission lines in compliance with RS-485 specifications. This resistor can be connected by connecting a jumper on the RS422/RS485 Termination Selector on the end-line reader. When set to communicate using the RS-485 interface, the reader always holds the transmission lines before the start of any communication and returns to Tri-state mode at the end of communication. The host system should do the same. The reader can be unplugged from the balanced lines. 4.3.3 Installing the RS-485 Half Duplex Interface RS-485 Half Duplex Standard requires only 1 pair of balanced lines, for both transmitting and receiving data. October 2010 Revision 1.0 17/34 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide When testing your network installation, make sure that all the connected readers are : - correctly supplied - correctly configured (Communication link selector and Termination resistor) - correctly connected (cable connections) If one reader is faulty on the network, all the network may be mute to any command sent over the network. Make sure that all the readers are preset with a different network address to avoid network conflicts. By default, a Medio P213 is preset with address 0. The balanced line TX+ and TX- corresponds to the reader driver and must be connected to the driver of the host (and other reader drivers or repeater). The RS-485 Half Duplex interface is configured by setting the reader in RS-485 Full Duplex mode and connecting pins RX+ and RX- to pins TX+ and TX- pins respectively on each reader of a network. Figure 6 shows how to connect the RS-485 Half Duplex Interface in a multi-drop network. Figure 6: Connection of the RS-485 Half Duplex Interface R R D+ D- RX+ RX- TX+ TX- RX+ RX- 4.3.4 TX+ TX- Host RS-485 Half Duplex Interface Host To Reader Interface Host To Reader Interface Reader 1 Reader n Grounding Arrangement In order for the generator and the receiver to operate correctly, a signal return path must exist between the reader grounds of the equipment at each end of the interconnection. The reader reference may be established by a third conductor connecting the common leads of the devices, or it may be provided by the connection from each equipment item to a ground reference. Where the reader reference is provided by a third conductor, the connection between the reader common and the third conductor must contain a certain amount of resistance (e.g. 100 ohms) to limit circulating currents when other ground connections are provided for safety. 18/34 Revision 1.0 October 2010 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide Figure 7: Grounding Arrangement for RS-422 / RS-485 Third Conductor Rg' Rg' Host System MEDIO P013 GND GND Rg Rg Use Rg or Rg' resistors Chassis Reference Earth (safety) Reference 4.3.5 Electrical Signal Requirements The following table shows the electrical characteristics of the RS-422/RS-485 interface pins.

A relay (open chain transistor, switch…) can also be used to connect the input pin and its ground. - Low level input voltage is defined to be in the range of 0 to 1.5V - High level input voltage is defined to be in the range of 3 to 25V 5.2 Using the Universal Output pin The output pin is an open drain power transistor that can drive a current up to 1.5A. When activated, the power transistor connects the output pin and its ground. The output transistor is protected against heating and current overload. If an overload happens, the output stops driving current automatically. The output must be turned off to be re-activated. You can use the Configurable Supply Output pin of the IO connector to deliver a supply to an active system connected to the output. You can set it to deliver the supply used to power the reader or a +5V supply limited by a 470 Ohms serial resistor by using the Supply Output Pin Selector with a jumper. +5V Supply Output J3 Reader power supply Output When the output is activated by the reader, a green led near the IO connector turns on. Beware that the LED will stay on while the output is in thermal or current overload state. The figure above describes the output architecture: Output supply jumper selector Main power supply 5VDC J3-1 470 Ώ J3-2 J3-3 20/34 Revision 1.0 October 2010 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide Example 1 : Connecting a LED to the Output The LED’s cathode is connected to the Output pin and its anode to the Output Supply Pin. Note that the Output supply jumper selector is configured to deliver 5V to supply the LED. The internal serial resistor limits the current delivered to the LED. Example 2 : Connecting a Lamp (5W under 24 V) to the Output using the reader supply The common wire (-) of the lamp is connected to the Output pin (J3-2) and its supply to the Output Supply Pin (J3-1). Note that the Output supply selector is configured to deliver the Power of the reader to the lamp. The lamp needs a 24V power supply, so the reader is supplied with 24V. The consumption of the lamp is less than 1 Ampere, so it can be connected directly to the reader output.

Stand-alone is not recommended in a network configuration. 6.1.3 Customized ASCII Message Format When a TAGSYS RFID Tag is read, its data is transmitted to the host in the form of an ASCII character frame. Optional Optional 2 to 16 characters C240 2 to 16 characters C270 2 to 16 characters ISO15693 2 to 16 characters Required End of Message String End of Text <ETX> (0x03) 1 character Optional C210 <CR/LF> (Default) 0 to 16 characters ID Chip Description String 0 to 16 characters Medio P213 “TAGSYS-“ Chip name (Default) 0 to 16 characters Size <STX> (0x02) 1 character Description Header String Start of Text Table 9: Customized ASCII Message Format (TAGSYS RFID Tag is read) Optional Optional Medio P213 readers can decode all chips in Standalone mode. Only the ID field is required in the return ASCII message. All other fields are optional. The ID field length is programmable, the default lengths are given in Table 10. Table 10: Default ID Field Lengths 6.1.4 Chip Type Default ID Field Length C210 chip 16 (Total memory) C240 chip 16 (Block 0 Page 0) C270 chip 16 (Block 0 and Block 1) ISO15693 chip 16 (UID) Repetition Option The reader constantly attempts to read any chips present in the field. When a chip ID is detected, the reader can send the information to the host in one of 2 modes: 1. In “Repeated Read” mode, the reader returns a chip’s ID to the host with each successful read operation. 2. In “Read Once” mode, the reader only returns the ID of a chip if the previous read corresponds to a different chip, or if all reading attempts have failed 4 times (this feature makes it possible to detect a chip’s potential exit out of the field). 24/34 Revision 1.0 October 2010 Medio P213 Reader User's Guide 6.1.5 Trigger Input When the trigger capability is enabled, a trigger state is used to start and stop the RF scanning. The trigger is connected to the input of the reader. Depending on the reply settings of the trigger, the ASCII message can be sent during the trigger activity (Repeated Read mode and Read Once mode are available) or at the end of the trigger. In this last case, a message is always sent to the host system: ♣ if a tag has been read, the message contains its ID, ♣ if a tag has not been read, the message contains a No Message string (that can be defined) as shown in Table 11. Table 11: Customized ASCII Message Format (TAGSYS RFID Tag is not read) Start of Text Header String No Tag Found String End of Message String End of Text Description <STX> (0x02) “TAGSYS-“ (Default) “????????“ (Default) <CR/LF> (Default) <ETX> (0x03) Size 1 character 0 to 16 characters 0 to 16 characters 0 to 16 characters 1 character Medio P213 Optional Optional Required Optional Optional 6.1.6 Output Settings The output of the reader can be used to monitor the trigger activity or the successful reads. 6.2 Enabling Stand-alone Mode Medio P213 can be set in Stand-alone mode by using the “Set Stand-alone Mode” command followed by a “Reset Reader” command. For more information, refer to the Medio P213 Command Set document. You can also use the Px Explorer software provided with the reader. 6.3 Disabling Stand-alone Mode The Medio P213 can be reset in Standard mode by sending the 'S' character using the communication interface (for example, HyperTerminal).
